- "If the MC spokesman were in any other political party, one that had an ethical code, and was not made to measure already would have been forced to leave his councilman's act and that is what he would have to do, resolve his situation judicial, and stop dragging the good name of Cartagena, "said the local spokesman of Cs
Citizens Cartagena understands that it must be very prudent, since "we have not had access to the report of the Legal Department of the City of Cartagena in which, apparently, it is assured that the MC spokesman and former mayor of Cartagena, had been charging since 2015 unduly a substantial part of his salary to be in a manifest situation of incompatibility due to their income and business activity as published today the newspaper La Verdad, "explained the spokesman of Cs Cartagena, Manuel Padín.
"Without having had the opportunity to read and study the municipal report, we prefer not to make any value judgments about whether or not to return that money," says Padín.
"In any case, in Citizens we regret the incongruity of the former mayor and when it suits you ask for and supports the reports of the Legal Department, as when a few days after being appointed mayor was based on a legal report in which it was assured that the City Council He was forced to ask for his entry into the court case of the Punic case, but now that the Legal Department asks him to return his salary for violating the Law of Incompatibilities, it is a political persecution, "recalled Padín.
For Manuel Padín, "if these facts are confirmed, José López's political career in the City Hall has far exceeded the worst predictions. In just over two years, he has been accused of four crimes of corruption, malfeasance, embezzlement, influence peddling. and negotiations prohibited by the strange purchase of the Hotel Peninsular, breaking his word of lowering the water, delaying the licensing of work and activity, delaying the payment of bills to suppliers, losing million-dollar European subsidies, and now apparently, a report of the services legal assures that he has been improperly collecting most of his salary since 2015 for not complying with the Law of incompatibilities of the personnel at the service of Public Administrations ".
"If Lopez were in any other political party, one that had an ethical code, and was not made to measure, he would have been forced to leave his councilman's act and that's what he would have to do, resolve his judicial situation, and leave to drag the good name of Cartagena, "said Manuel Padín.
